Telling a girl you like her over the phone?

Bad idea?

Reason being that I haven't seen her in about 2 months but we've talked and kept in touch. We're pretty good friends at the moment, but I think we'd be great together. I was ment to go out with her last week when I stopped off at uni but she cancelled the day before because she had to go back home for the week, she did call and appologise and said we have to do it another time. So atleast she didn't blow me off.

Problem is that I don't see her again until the start of uni, which is another month and I can't take it anymore. I can't stop thinking about her and need to speak to her. Would it be a bad idea if I told her I liked her on the phone? Obviously I wouldn't force it, just if the convo went in that direction.

Thanks a lot.

Do it. She'll be flattered and happy even if she'll say no so you can't do the wrong thing.
Sounds like a good idea but if you can, wait till you see her in person, and then tell her... you can say of how much you missed her too. I have got rid of the phone as a medium of communication of relationship matters.

MSN is the answer to all your problems. :biggrin: Webcams with them.

Don't write a letter, she'll think your gay, wait until you go back to uni. Going to see a friend to tell them you like them is just desperate.

Letters are gay i'm afraid - if i got a letter from a guy at first i'd be happy (regardless of guy) then i'd be freaked out.

I think you should ether call her or meet her. Also if you do it now, if she does blow you off, then she'll have got over it when uni starts and you'll still be friends.

If you wait for uni to start things will be tense for a will without that break.

Oviously if she says yes all will be good no matter what!! GOOD LUCK

call her and just have a normal talk. Dont bring up anything....see wat she says. if it doesnt head tat way...dont tell her abt it. Else if sumthin leads that way (usually we tend to think even a simple...i miss uni...means that she misses u ! ) :rolleyes: - think and then say what you have to say. And dont beat around the bush too much....dont go ...u see...well....ahem...*cough*..!
Just say it and be cool with it as if nuthin happened ! Else wait till uni to slowly slip it in! :wink:

Try very hard to get her to meet you - if its over the phone it leads to all sorts of ambiguities, e.g her thinking you were making a joke coz she couldn't see your facial expression etc.
Does she live near you? I just thought that may be difficult if she doesn't.
but still, stress the point ur not making a joke - ive had the same thing happen to me and it caused lots of unnecessary stress! :smile:

i agree, best to wait until face to face. that way u can judge her reaction better. absence makes the heart grow fonder and all! altho u should call/talk on msn in the meantime as friends cos otherwise she might think ur in a pissy about her not being able to meet u and it could get complicated. i know this from past experience! :frown:

Ask her face to face. If she hears it over the phone, it'll give her time to really think about what she wants to do. In person, she has to give you some sort of reaction whether she likes it or not.

Are letters from guys considered to be gay? :eek:

No, I didn't! I have got at least 3 wonderfully written letters! (I hope this doesnt refer to the remaining correspondence via mail).

Ah, good idea my man, good idea. The best way to go about this is to say 'Hi, I like you so much I've been stalking you these last few weeks' because that is the ultimate in flattery. You say those words, and she's yours.

Imma wait until uni starts. In sheffield I live right next to her, just at the moment I'm in London for the rest of the summer. Yeah, I think it's best just to wait until uni starts..
